Bank Stocks Drive the Comeback
Financial stocks powered Tuesday's rebound. Bank Nifty reclaimed the 56,000 level, a critical milestone that signaled investor confidence returning to the sector News18. State Bank of India, Axis Bank, and other banking giants saw strong demand after falling prices made them attractive to value hunters.
